Election nears

Time to begin the process of showing your support for the candidates of your choice.

I spent 10 years as a member of the Board of Commissioners here at Cascade Medical center, 1990 to 2000. I take particular interest in the election of board members to that organization. Two current members of the Board of Commissioners at Cascade Medical Center are seeking reelection. Only one of the two candidates has an opponent running for that same position. 

The opponent is Duane Goehner. I did some digging and a little research, and I came away with a very solid opinion of candidate Goehner.

The new kid tossing his hat into the ring is by no means a new kid or a stranger here in Leavenworth.

For me, Duane has exactly the qualities I want in a person who is going to sit on the Board of Commissioners in our local community. I'm impressed by his candor and his willingness to accept new ideas and listen to others with an open mind. For me, those are critical skills for a Commissioner.

But don't take my word here folks, go to Duane's page, www.goehner.com and read what he has to say about his goals and desires.  I'm confident you'll be both impressed and as pleased as I was to learn his qualifications and his goals for the facility.
